Yamaha RD350 modification inspired by the SR400

The Yamaha RD350 will live forever in the minds of those who love motorcycling. Unfortunately, the younger bunch will never really be able to buy, or even ride a motorcycle of the RD350s nature compared to today’s products.

Motoexotica, a custom bike builder has now come up with a modified RD350, which looks DOPE!

This modified version takes heavy inspiration from the Yamaha SR400 in the looks department. Also, it is completely different from what the original RD350 was.

Here is a list of what has changed:

Custom build, takes 3 months

50% of the chassis is built from scratch

Front suspension from the KTM Duke

Re-valved damping

330mm Brembo front brake rotor

LED headlamp

Digital speedo / RPM cluster

Custom swing arm with positive locking for axle

Rear monoshock

Carbon fibre parts – fenders, side panels & meter bracket built in house

New exhaust

New seats

New rims & knobby tyres

Doesn’t this look good?

Sadly, Yamaha doesn’t have any plans of bringing new products on these lines to our market anytime soon. So let’s drool over this makeover of the legend, the Yamaha RD350.
